Version May 2024
Focal (partial) onset seizures:
Initial: Oral: 400 mg once daily; may initiate treatment at 800 mg once daily if seizure reduction outweighs risk of adverse reactions during initiation. Increase in weekly increments of 400 to 600 mg based on clinical response and tolerability.
Maintenance: Oral: 800 to 1,600 mg once daily
Monotherapy: Consider 800 mg once daily for maintenance therapy in patients not tolerating 1,200 mg once daily.
Adjunctive therapy: Consider 1,600 mg once daily for maintenance therapy in patients not achieving response on 1,200 mg once daily.
Discontinuation of therapy: Unless safety concerns require a more rapid withdrawal, reduce dosage gradually and avoid abrupt discontinuation in order to minimize the risk of increased seizure frequency and status epilepticus.
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
CrCl ≥50 mL/minute: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer’s labeling.
CrCl <50 mL/minute: Administer 50% of normal initial, titration and maintenance doses; may base titration and maintenance dosage adjustments on clinical response.
Hemodialysis, intermittent (thrice weekly): There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; use with caution. Repeated dialysis removes metabolites.
Mild to moderate hepatic impairment: No dosage adjustment necessary.
Severe hepatic impairment: Use is not recommended (has not been studied).
Refer to adult dosing; use with caution.

Canadian labeling: Additional contraindications (not in US labeling): Hypersensitivity to carbamazepine; history or presence of second- or third-degree atrioventricular block
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• CNS effects: Use has been associated with dose-dependent CNS-related adverse events, most significant of these were cognitive symptoms (eg, memory impairment, disturbance in attention, amnesia, confusional state, aphasia, speech disorder, slowness of thought, disorientation, psychomotor retardation), somnolence or fatigue, dizziness and coordination abnormalities (eg, ataxia, vertigo, balance disorder, gait disturbance, nystagmus, abnormal coordination), and visual changes (eg, diplopia, blurred vision, impaired vision). There was an increased risk of visual changes and dizziness and coordination abnormalities during the titration period, in patients >60 years of age, and with concomitant carbamazepine use; consider dosage modifications in patients using eslicarbazepine and carbamazepine concomitantly. Caution patients about performing tasks which require mental alertness (eg, operating machinery or driving).
• Dermatologic reactions: Potentially serious, sometimes fatal, dermatologic reactions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) have been reported; monitor for signs and symptoms of skin reactions; discontinuation and conversion to alternate therapy may be required. Avoid use in patients with prior dermatologic reaction with carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, or eslicarbazepine.
• Hematologic effects: Cases of pancytopenia, agranulocytosis, and leukopenia have been reported; consider discontinuing eslicarbazepine if these hematologic abnormalities develop.
• Hepatic effects: Hepatic effects ranging from mild to moderate elevations in transaminases (>3 times the upper limit of normal) to rare cases of concomitant elevations of total bilirubin (>2 times the upper limit of normal) have been reported. Perform baseline liver laboratory tests. Discontinue in patients with jaundice or other evidence of significant liver injury.
• Hypersensitivity reactions: Rare cases of anaphylaxis and angioedema have been reported. Permanently discontinue should symptoms occur. Avoid use in patients with a prior anaphylactic-type reaction with either oxcarbazepine or eslicarbazepine.
• Hyponatremia: Clinically significant hyponatremia (serum sodium <125 mmol/L) and concurrent hypochloremia may develop during use. In controlled trials, effects were dose-related, appeared within the first 8 weeks of treatment (as early as after 3 days), and resolved without additional treatment within a few days of eslicarbazepine discontinuation. Consider monitoring serum sodium and chloride levels during maintenance treatment, especially in patients at risk for hyponatremia and if symptoms of hyponatremia develop. Depending on the severity of hyponatremia, the dose of eslicarbazepine may need to be reduced or discontinued.
• Multiorgan hypersensitivity reactions: Potentially serious, sometimes fatal drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), also known as multiorgan hypersensitivity reactions, have been reported. Monitor for signs and symptoms (eg, fever, rash, lymphadenopathy, eosinophilia) in association with other organ system involvement (eg, hepatitis, nephritis, hematological abnormalities, myocarditis, myositis). Evaluate immediately if signs or symptoms are present. Discontinuation and conversion to alternate therapy may be required. Avoid use in patients with a prior DRESS reaction with carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, or eslicarbazepine.
• Suicidal ideation: Pooled analysis of trials involving various antiseizure medications (regardless of indication) showed an increased risk of suicidal thoughts/behavior (incidence rate: 0.43% treated patients compared to 0.24% of patients receiving placebo); risk observed as early as 1 week after initiation and continued through duration of trials (most trials ≤24 weeks). Monitor all patients for notable changes in behavior that might indicate suicidal thoughts or depression; patients should be instructed to notify healthcare provider immediately if symptoms occur.
• Thyroid function: Dose-dependent decreases in serum T3 and T4 (free and total) values have been observed; changes were not associated with other abnormal thyroid function tests suggesting hypothyroidism.
Disease-related concerns:
• Renal impairment: Clearance is decreased in patients with impaired renal function; dosage adjustment may be necessary.
• Hepatic impairment: Avoid use in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Withdrawal: Antiseizure medications should not be discontinued abruptly because of the possibility of increasing seizure frequency; therapy should be withdrawn gradually to minimize the potential of increased seizure frequency, unless safety concerns require a more rapid withdrawal.

Eslicarbazepine is present in breast milk. According to the manufacturer, the decision to breastfeed during therapy should consider the risk of infant exposure, the benefits of breastfeeding to the infant, and benefits of treatment to the mother.
Seizure frequency; liver enzymes (baseline); serum sodium and chloride (periodically as clinically necessary, particularly in patients receiving other medications known to decrease sodium levels or if symptoms of hyponatremia develop); visual changes; hypersensitivity reactions. Monitor for suicidality (eg, suicidal thoughts, depression, behavioral changes). For adjunctive therapy, serum levels of concomitant antiseizure drugs during titration as necessary.
Eslicarbazepine acetate is extensively converted to eslicarbazepine, which is considered responsible for therapeutic effects. A precise mechanism has not been defined, but is thought to involve inhibition of voltage-gated sodium channels.
Distribution: Vd: 0.87 L/kg
Protein binding: <40%
Metabolism: Rapidly and extensively metabolized by hydrolytic first-pass metabolism to the major active metabolite eslicarbazepine and minor active metabolites (R)-licarbazepine and oxcarbazepine; active metabolites are further metabolized to inactive glucuronides.
Bioavailability: >90%
Half-life elimination: Pediatric patients 4 to 17 years: 10 to 16 hours; Adults: 13 to 20 hours
Time to peak: Eslicarbazepine: Pediatric patients 4 to 17 years: 1 to 3 hours; Adults: 1 to 4 hours
